Most products don’t require special permits, but specific categories like electronics, toys, cosmetics, and food products may need testing certificates or compliance with Australian standards. Epic Sourcing helps navigate these requirements and ensures your products meet all necessary regulations.
We provide multi-stage quality control, including pre-production material checks, during-production inspections, pre-shipment quality assessments, and factory audits. Our teams in China and Vietnam physically inspect products before they ship to Australia, helping prevent quality issues.
